Parsons Green is a London Underground station on the Wimbledon branch of the District Line. It is between Fulham Broadway and Putney Bridge stations and is in Zone 2. The station is located on Parsons Green a short distance north of the green itself. The station is about half way between Fulham Road (A304) and New Kings Road (A308). The station was previously a train-operator depot, until functions were transferred to Earl's Court.
Sidings[]
Points allow Parsons Green to be used as an intermediate terminating point for both C and D stock trains. Below are the 7 sidings explained:
- One siding north of the station. Allows two D or C stock trains and can only be accessed via the EB track.
- Another siding north of the station, allows one D or C stock train and can only be accessed from via the WB track.
- Four sidings just south of the station and one adjacent to Platform 2. The 4 sidings can all accommodate one D or C stock train. The siding adjacent to platform 2 can only accommodate one C stock train and can only be accessed from the eastermost siding.
History[]
The station was opened on 1 March 1880 when the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR, now the District Line) extended its line south from West Brompton to Putney Bridge.
Future[]
Parsons Green is a proposed stop on the under-development Crossrail 2 route, also known as the Chelsea-Hackney Line. It will either supplement or replace the existing District Line service on much of the Wimbledon Branch.
North of the station, the line would branch off into a new tunneled section that could carry it into Victoria station, via a new station on the Kings Road, Chelsea station. Crossrail 2 is currently still at a development stage, and details may change. The route was safeguarded in 1991 and again in 2007.
